When American author Edgar
Allan Poe visits London, he is approached by British journalist Alan Foster, who
becomes the target of a peculiar wager. Not believing Poe’s assertion that all
of his macabre stories have been based on actual experience, Foster accepts a
bet from Poe and his friend Sir Thomas Blackwood that he cannot spend an entire
night in the Blackwood’s haunted castle. Once installed in the abandoned castle,
Foster discovers that he is not alone, as he is approached by various beautiful
women and handsome men, and a doctor of metaphysics — who explains that they
are all lost souls damned to replay the stories of their demises on the
anniversary of their deaths!
